Does anyone have one of these trees/shrubs and can give any
advice regarding care and planting?

I've just bought one and the lady at the garden centre said
it should be kept indoors until Spring / Summer then
planted outdoors in a sheltered spot out of the way of cold
wind, then wrapped in fleece to over Winter.

In this instance Google has not found any matches for the
specific plant variety "mimosa gaulois buiss" shown on the
label. It is a nice looking plant at around 2 feet high and
has bunches of lovely yellow flowers. I can post a photo if
anyone is interested?


I presume "buiss" is short for buisson (shrub, bush). But you had
probably worked that out for yourself.

the language side)


Hi Cat(h). No I hadn't worked out the buiss - I just
thought it was part of the name of the variety. Looking at
the receipt though lists it as buisson, so you are right,
it must be abbreviated on the plant label.
Another word added to my French vocabulary :-)
I'll have another google dropping the bush part. Thanks.
